Born in Belfast, McCallan attended Belfast Royal Academy and was first XV captain for two seasons, while gaining Ulster Schools representative honours.[1] He went on to Queen's University and earned an Ulster call up while competing in varsity rugby. In 1958, McCallan moved to Ballymena to work at a tobacco manufacturer and joined Ballymena RFC.[2]
